Current events

Post by mgilmer » Tue Jun 10, 2008 5:00 pm

We are currently at WDW right now (at the BCV) and I just wanted to say a big thank you to all the cast members we have come in contact with. Every one has been genuinely friendly and very helpful. We have gone out of our way to say thanks to all the cast members at our hotel, the bus drivers, boat drivers, servers, and all the park cms we see because they are a very large part in the great vacation we are having. You guys are the greatest!

We had a great trip and I want to say thank you to all the CMs we came in contact with. All of you do an often thankless job and do it very well. BTW, my son had a hoot of a time asking all the bus drivers if they knew Zazu and, if so, to tell him hi.

Glad you had a good time but Zazu isn't a bus driver. Cranbiz is and Big Wallaby was but AFAIK Zazu has never driven a bus.


Around here, however, we don’t look backwards for very long.

We keep moving forward, opening up new doors and doing new things, because we're curious…
and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths.

Zazu was a train conductor, now is concierge at the big toaster.

Also the proprietor of Zazu's misguided tours of the Magic Kingdom.

I'm a bus driver, Big Wallaby was a bus driver, now is a Safari driver going onto monorails in a couple of days.
That's what I said, I just didn't go into the details of BW's moving around after leaving buses.

You need to work some more so that you don't catch my mistakes, I edited that 30 seconds after posting it because I realized (and quickly, I might add) that I misread your post.

LOL. You must have been editing your post as I posted my reply.

No problem. Don't worry about it.

If you had gotten me, I would have answered , yes I know Zazu and then PM'ed him once I got home.

Actually, I *was* a bus driver at WDW, and may be again some day. After five years on the waiting list, I was finally trained to drive Main Street Vehicles, and qualified on Horseless Carriages, the Firetruck, the Omnibus, and parade all in one day.

Then I never got scheduled to drive again, but that's not the point.
